The Top Panel includes the input gain and monitoring controls.
1. GAIN 01 and GAIN 02 - adjust the input gain for the input signals connected at INPUT 1 and
INPUT 2 respectively. The gain controls have concentric bi-colour LED ‘rings’ to confirm signal
level: green indicates an input level of at least -24 dBFS (i.e. ‘signal present’), the ring then turns
red (and stays red for one second) when the signal level reaches 0 dBFS.
2. POWER LED – this illuminates green while the iTrack Dock is on (see [7] on the rear panel).
You will notice that it flashes for a few seconds when the Dock is switched on with an iPad
already connected, or when an iPad is connected if the Dock is already on. This confirms that
data communications between the Dock and the iPad are being established, and the Dock is
ready to use once the LED stops flashing. The LED will also flash when an iPad is disconnected,
and also blinks (in a different manner) when a USB MIDI device is connected or disconnected.
3. 48V LED – this illuminates red if phantom power is turned on (see [3] on the rear panel).
4. MONITOR - main stereo monitor output level control - sets the output level at the rear panel
MONITOR OUTPUTS connectors.
5. DIRECT MONITOR – when pressed (internal red LED on), selects monitoring of the input signals
to be directly from the inputs without latency (delay). When off, all monitoring will be via the iPad
recording app, and thus live signals will be subject to a time delay (or latency).
6. Headphone level - adjusts the output level at the side panel stereo headphone output.
7. (at side) Headphone socket - ¼” TRS output jack - connect your stereo headphones here.
8. iPad docking area
9. Lightning connector
